How we handle bath re-enamelling in New Brancepeth
After re-enamelling, the bath has a smooth, glossy, new-looking surface, without any of the disruption of replacing it. It suits anyone happy with the bathroom apart from the bath. If you are dealing with a peeling or bubbling previous coating and a bath in a colour that no longer suits, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a full day, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
- Next we degrease the bath and fix chips and rust spots.
- The surface is prepared and a bonding primer applied.
- We spray several coats of new enamel finish.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, the bath is ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in New Brancepeth
Replacing a cast iron bath is a big job: they’re heavy, frequently need breaking up, and a new one isn’t cheap. Resurfacing in place avoids that entirely. Prices start from £350. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. The bath needs to be firm and well supported.
Cast iron
Cast iron baths are the classic candidate for re-enamelling. The body lasts for generations; only the enamel wears, so resurfacing gives them a new life.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
- Repair dripping taps early
- Wash away dyes and oils after use
Avoid hair dye, bath bombs and oils sitting on the surface, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
If a previous coating is starting to peel, do not pick at it. Moisture gets underneath and makes it worse, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.
Your questions about bath re-enamelling in New Brancepeth
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Does re-enamelling smell?
Some odour is normal while we spray, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you re-enamel a roll-top bath?
Yes. Inside and out if you’d like.
Do you need to take the bath out?
No. It’s re-enamelled where it stands, so nothing else is disturbed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
